CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
City Hall Parking Program
Purpose
The purpose of the City Hall Parking Program is to provide the citizens of Rancho Cucamonga with
ready, safe, and convenient access to City Hall. This program establishes parking regulations to
enforce parking designations that have been in place since the development of the Civic Center
complex. The objective is to preserve an adequate number of parking spaces to serve our customer
base by deterring non-City customers from parking in the City Hall visitors lot. The City Hall
Parking Program will be adopted by Ordinance of the City Council and any violation of the parking
regulations set forth in this plan shall constitute a violation of the Ordinance.
City Hall North Parking Lot: Employee Only Parking By Permit
The parking lot located directly north of City Hall has always been designated as parking for City
Hall Employees by permit only. This program establishes regulations to enforce this restriction.
The paxking lot north of City Hall is restricted to employees of the City of Rancho Cucamonga that
have paxking permits for their vehicles. The parking permits shall be distributed to all existing
employees upon establishment of the City Hall Parking Program and new City employees shall
receive parking permits during the personnel process for new hires.
Any vehicle parked in the employee-only lot that does not have a visible parking permit shall be in
violation of the parking restrictions and ensuing parking ordinance. Such violation shall be subject
to fine or towing.
City Hall East Parking Lot: Time Restricted Parking
The parking lot located directly east of City Hall has always been designated as parking for City of
Rancho Cucamonga visitors only. In order to provide adequate parking for City Hall customers, it
is necessary to deter non-City customers from parking in the east lot. This program establishes time-
restricted parking to enforce the east lot's designation as City Hall Visitor parking only. Parking in
the east lot is restricted, with each space individually and specifically designated with one of the
following restrictions:
One-Hour Parking
· Two-Hour Parking
· Police Employees Only and Police Vehicle Only
· City Pool Car Vehicles Only
Any vehicle parked for an amount of time which exceeds the designated time limit for that paxking
space, as determined by the parking attendant on duty, shall be in violation of the ordinance
establishing this program. Any vehicles parked in the spaces reserved for Police Employees, Police
Vehicles, and City Pool Cars that do not display an employee parking permit, or are not clearly
marked as a City or Police vehicle, shall be in violation of the ordinance establishing this program.

be valid only on the day issued and must be displayed in the vehicle.
Fines for Parking Violations
Violations of the parking regulations and restrictions are subject to fine and/or towing. The fines
shall be established by resolution of the City Council in order that they may be amended if
necessary.
Signing and Striping
In both the north and east parking lots, all parking restrictions, regulations, fine, and tow away
information shall be clearly posted through the use of signs and striping.
City Employee Parking Assignments
City Employees may park in the east lot if their vehicle displays an employee parking permit.
However, all City employees are encouraged to park primarily in the north lot and use the east lot
only when the employee parking lot is full. In addition, all City employees with assigned spaces
located in the underground parking structure are encouraged to park in their assigned spaces.
